This is an oldie, but very popular on Skinnytaste. With the fourth of July coming up next weekend, and all things red white and blue I'm sharing this from the archives.

Using store bought angel foods cake makes this quick and easy to prepare and no need to heat up the kitchen, but you can use a box mix or make it from scratch if you prefer, whatever you decide this will still be fabulous!

Whisk the condensed milk and water in a bowl. Whisk in the pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; fold in the whipped topping.

Arrange half of the cake in the bottom of a 14-cup trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Spread half of the cream mixture over the blueberries and gently spread (I piped it using a plastic bag and cut the corner off). Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer the remaining cake cubes on top of the strawberries, then add more blueberries and top with the remaining cream mixture. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a pretty pattern. Cover and refrigerate at least one 1 hour.

Wow this looks wonderful! Sweet condensed milk also comes in fat free, it is not evaporated milk so dont make that mistake. Condensed milk is very thick. It is found on the baking isle.This looks beautiful, light and refreshing, I cannot wait to try it!

Christina, a trifle dish is a clear dish that sits on a pedistal. If you have a local walmart they have them for $7-10. You can use any clear dish that has depth. The beauty of this dessert is the layers so you need something you can see through. If you do not care to see the layers you could use any large container.

The fat-free sugar-free white chocolate pudding is VERY good!! The milk Gina is talking about is fat-free sweetened condensed milk. When I make a trifle, I use about 1/4 cup less milk than the recipe calls for. I use skim milk for half the milk and fat-free half and half for the rest of the milk. It is thick and creamy!

I made this for a dinner party, and not only was it the most beautiful thing I've ever made, it was absolutely delicious!!!! The whole trifle was eaten with only 1/2 cup left for me to take home. I will make this again and again, something so beautiful and light in calories/fat is amazing!!!

I make various versions of this...sometimes I only use fruit, mo cake or pudding and serve with whipped cream on the side BUT I buy cheap trifle bowls at Ikea or Christmas Tree Shop and bring them when I go to friends house for a BBQ and let them keep the bowl as a gift.

Oh my gosh! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to find your site! I just joined Weight Watchers and have been looking for yummy low points+ recipes. And here you are, the answer to my prayers! I just want to say Thank you and keep up the good work!!

Wow!! That looks amazing!! I cannot wait to try this recipe! Gina, you post the most delicious looking things…thanks for continuing to give us all ideas to try out…and being the guinea pig to test them for us first! haha

Gina...I ordered a trifle bowl just to make this masterpiece for my upcoming 4th of July party! Can't wait to try it! Can you tell me what type of spoon one uses to serve from a trifle bowl? I've never owned one!

I've made a dessert just like this twice in the last few months. I add raspberries when I make it to make it extra berry-y. I was making it from memory and forgot about doing pudding between the layers -- I was just using FF Cool Whip. It's a very satisfying dessert without a ridiculous amount of calories, esp. when you use FF/sugar free ingredients. Yum!

This is my first Trifle, and it turned out amazing! Great idea with the pudding mix in the bag with cutting the corner, no mess! Love this recipe and many others, thanks Gina!! Youve made my family very happy :)

For the people asking about the condensed milk.... I just have to say that I am too cheap to pay for that (over $2 a can at my local store) and you don't really need the extra sugar as there is plenty of sweetness already in the cake, the pudding and the whipped cream. I made this using 1 1/2c fat free milk instead of water, leaving out the condensed milk completely, and it turned out great!

I made this trifle for a weekend BBQ and it was AMAZING!! Everyone loved it and said it tasted like something decadent - not HEALTHY!! Thank you so much for your site and all the hard work you put into maintaining it!! Love your recipes Gina!!

I made this for a dinner party at my house. It turned out delicious. My husband and my sister in law couldn't stop raving about it and my nieces were sneaking away plates of it. My sister in law are on a diet and she couldnt believe the low calorie points. I have made many of your recipes and they all turn out great, especially the turkey burgers. Thanks!

I will be making this for our friend's 4th of July party! I don't have a trifle dish, but I have a blue clear bowl, that I'll use. I like the idea of adding some bananas and maybe raspberries into it. I am not a fan of blue berries, but for the sake of the day, I'll use them. Thanks Gina, another amazing recipe! Melissa

I'm going to make this for a BBQ tomorrow, it looks delicious! I wasn't able to find the fat free condensed milk though.. I checked 3 different grocery stores, but they only had lowfat. I also couldn't find sugar free white chocolate pudding. I bought cheesecake flavor instead, hope its just as good!

This was a huge hit last weekend at a friend's birthday party. There were lots of other deserts made with fruits and milk chocolate, but the trifle was the only thing that was gone by the end of the night! Thanks for your great recipes Gina :)

Made this spectacular dessert yesterday for our cookout! Easy to assemble...looked just as amazing (well, almost) as Gina's did! Was THE hit of the party! Not one single blueberry was left in the bowl. Easy to find the FF sweetened condensed milk at my local grocery store. It was about double the price though. With about half the can left over, I will make another batch of this delicious dessert this week. Maybe my husband will get some this time!

I made this for a 4th of July party today and I only took home a tiny serving. It was a big hit!! So light and fluffy. I made it the day before too and it held up very well. Thank you for your awesome site, Gina!

Loved it! I'm doing WW and one of my parents is a diabetic. This gave us all a healthier dessert (and it was delicious) for our 4th of July cookout. Will definitely do it again. I'm planning to make it with vanilla pudding and bananas ;-) THANKS for the idea and inspiration!

Ditto to all that said they made this on the 4th and had great results - I love your receipes, Gina, because they turn out exactly as you say they will and are always excellent. I'm not a talented cook, but when I made this, everyone was impressed. :)

I made this 2 times this holiday weekend and people could not stop talking about it. I could not find the white chocolate pudding so I just used regular vanilla (i could not find french vanilla either) and it was just delicious!

Made this for 2 different July fourth cookouts, it was a hit at both!!! I made cheesecake pudding one day and white chocolate the other and they were equally as tasty!!! It not only looked beautiful, but tasted delicious!!! It was also nice to have a 'healthier' alternative dessert. YUM!!!!

I made this as well as two other recipes of yours this past weekend - I have to say finding your website is just what I needed to mix things up with my meal planning . having lost about 128 pounds with WW things were getting stale , thank you so much for all these wonderful new recipes

I also made this on the 4th and used a sugar free angel food cake to further lower the calories. My pudding didn't get very firm but it was still delicious. My friends couldn't believe it was a "diet" dessert! I'm thinking of making it again for a family reunion this weekend!

Gina, thank you for this recipe! It was delicious. I made it for a 4th of July BBQ and everyone loved it! I told them it was "skinny" and they all had seconds! : )Oh and it was still good the next day, so moist.Oh and WalMart sells a trifle bowl for $7. Can't beat that.

This was fantastic and the first item I made from your website. I too stumbled upon it from a friends suggestion. I hope all the other recipes are just s good!!Thanks so much. Oh and i ate so much of this.....

This was the biggest hit at our 4th of July cookout!!! I think I need an intervention because o am addicted to your site. My family has loved everything that I have made from here. 2mro we are making the low fat banana walnut oatmeal cookies and brown rice horchata. Can't wait to try the next thing!!!! Of anyone comes over for the intervention I have cookies!!!

I've made this twice and it's a big hit. I didn't have white chocolate pudding so I used sugar-free cheesecake instead and it was awesome. Easy to prepare; looks so pretty and best of all DELICIOUS! Thank you Gina, I LOVE your website!

I made this tonight to take to my sister-in-law's. I wrote about it on my blog and linked back to you. Please let me know if I need to add/correct anything. http://rebaann.blogspot.com/2011/07/red-white-and-blueberry-trifle.html

For those challenged by slicing the strawberries, use a handy dandy egg slicer! For this recipe, remove the strawberry stem first. But in the past I've kept the stem on, don't cut all the way through, and then fan the strawberry slices for a pretty decoration.

Made this recipe for my in laws without telling them it was lowfat. Everyone thought it was delicious. But I did have to make a change. The store I went to was out of the white chocolate sugar free so I used vanilla sugar free instead. Came out fantastic! Thank you for this recipe!

HI. I just wanted to write to say I have tried a couple different recipes now on your site and everyone of them have turned out amazing. I am fascinated with this site and always looking for what you will come up with next. I just made this dessert for my nephews birthday party and it was a bigger hit than the birthday cake. I made this and the buffalo skinny dip. NO LEFTOVERS! Thank you so much for this site. The items have been easy to find and recipes easy to follow. ~Amanda~

Made this dessert today...yummy! Thanks for the recipe. My husband's family loved it. My store is a little lame...they didn't carry the fat-free condensed milk or white chocolate pudding, so I used reg condensed milk and vanilla pudding.

This was the first item I made from skinnytaste.com after my sister-in-law made it for my mom's birthday bbq! I made it for our Wednesday night dinner rotation and it was great!! Beautiful presentation and a delicious summer dessert!

I just wanted to say that I have made so many of your recipes it's like you live in my house with me. That might seem a little creepy, but it's true!I know it's gross and against all the rules but I was really feeling the need for berries lately even though it's December and I totally made this recipe with frozen berries. It was not as good, I'm sure, but it fed my berry needs and made my family very happy!

hello im new to your website...i have made a brownie trifle before and it asked for sweetened condensed milk and in my opinion and familys and was wayyyy to sweet. would it completely change the taste if i use regular milk? would it not be sweet enough or thick enough if i left the sweetened condensed milk out? thank you for your beautiful recipes!!

O.k. so this looks so yummy but if I made it fat free and suger free my husband might kill me (trust me he can tell lol) so can you use the not so healthy stuff instead or will it come out different other than not as healthy?

You can use regular ingrediants. I sprinkled my strawberries with sugar and let them soak for a bit. I used regular cool whip without mixing it with anything. When you start layering, put your strawberries on top of the angel food cake so the cake absorbs the juice. Lovely!

My Mum has been making a variation of this for years. It was always my favorite during summer bbq's. She always used vanilla pudding, but I'm going to show her this recipe with the white chocolate. I bet that makes it fantastic. Another variation is banana pudding with cut up strawberries and bananas.

I made this last night for a mothers day dinner.....AMAZING! I usually leave any leftover desserts with my sis or mom but not last night buddy, i took it home and can't wait to finish it off tonight!! I couldn't find white chocolate pudding so I used cheesecake instead. I'm sure it would be good with the other but i loved the cheesecake so well i'm not sure i can make the switch. I used blackberries and raspberries also. I'm new to WW and it's so nice to think that something that taste this good can actually be okay to eat.....I know I can keep doing this.

LOVE this site!!! Every meal this week has come from your recipes and I couldn't be happier or more inspired. Been on WW for almost 4 weeks and lost 15 pounds so far. This is actually fun!

Just saw these on Pinterest! Yummy! I'd love for you to link up in my Patriotic Recipe & Craft link up! Thank you! Susie http://cafescrapper-scrapsoflife.blogspot.com/2012/05/link-up-anything-patriotic-25-amazon.html

Made it for a party, mine wasn't as pretty as Gina's but it sure tasted good! Made a few changes, my strawberries and blueberries weren't the most ripe so I made a simple syrup a few of the berries (was too chicken to use Splenda so I used regular sugar :/ ) I too wasn't able to find fat free condensed milk so i used regular. Used fat free everything else and substituted half the water for fat free half and half. LOVED the white chocolate- That was genius Gina! So my version wasn't quite as WW friendly, will continue to search for the FF condensed milk and hopefully next time my berries will be sweeter!

Went to 4 stores, couldn't find the white chocolate pudding anywhere. Bought cheesecake pudding instead, hoping it turns out good. It was either cheesecake or vanilla. Thought cheesecake might be better.

made this for memorial day for out bbq. It was a huge hit. Everyone loved it even the kids liked it. My in-laws even decided to eat dessert first because they wanted to try it. Thanks so much for sharing

I made this for our Memorial Day bbq and it was a huge hit! I didn't have enough blueberries, so I used blackberries for the first layer. I wasn't able to find the white chocolate pudding, so like alot of folks I used cheesecake flavor. We all loved it, and the family has already requested I make it again this week!

My sister made something like this about a month ago but with just pain whip cream. It was good, but not WOW. I made a double recipe and served this one today at a BBQ for our friends and people fought over the left overs! The white choc in the whip cream makes all the difference, gr8 low cal tip. thanks!

Folding in is not like stirring it together. You take a spoon or spatula and scrape from the bottom of the bowl and fold the pudding up over the top of the whipped cream and keep doing this until it's all combined. Stirring whipped cream breaks it down and it looses it's air and then isn't 'fluffy' anymore. Hope this helps and makes sense.

Just in time for the 4th of July. Do I have permission to reblog this? My site is www.lifebeginsat30sum.wordpress.com. I'm sharing my journey to living a healthier life through starting weight watchers. I'd love to include this picture, the recipe, and a link back to your site. I'll wait to hear back before doing so! Thanks!! Jessica

I am new to trifles and I was wondering how you transport them without spilling over. I want to make this for a July 4th party next weekend thats about 30 mins away. Also can I refrigerate before the drive and just set it out at the party? Thanks!

As I was making this yesterday for a bbq we were going to my husband saw all the non-fat ingredients and was complaining that it would be "non-taste." Made him try it and he went back for seconds! Very good and very easy to make.

This is absolutely the yummiest, lowest points value trifle I have ever made. Made it first for a 4th of July cookout, and then again for the family over the weekend due to popular demand. Just a tip...you can add fresh raspberries to this to make it even more colorful if you would like. Thanks for sharing! ;-)

I made this over 4th of July as written and am going to make it for an Olympic Opening Ceremony party tonight. This time I think I'm going to try a lemon pudding if I can find it to add to the lightness and freshness ;-) Love your site, Gina. I can't even count how many of your recipes I've made!!!

We made this yesterday for the 2nd time. It's our favoite dessert. and we don't have to feel too guilty eating it. It's so easy to make and so good, I could eat the whole thing by myself. But I do refrain....

I made this for dinner the other night when we had friends over. It was a huge hit! My guests even had seconds! I also had trouble finding the White Chocolate pudding, so I opted for the Sugar free Cheesecake pudding and it did the trick perfectly. Fantastic recipe!

I made this yesterday. I love it. I make my banana puddings with the same filling just use bananas and cookies instead so I knew it would be good. I couldn't find the angel food cake at the store I was at so I just bought the cake mix and made the cake. you only have to add water to the cake mix. Also, I used all strawberries because I'm not a big fan of blueberries. One cup serving is very fulfilling and plenty. Can't believe it's so guiltless.

I just made this tonight, I tasted it in July at an office party and was directed to this website for the recipe. Unfortunately mine didn't turn out well. It was "soupy", after I spooned out one portion the remainder caved in. It didn't taste as fluffy as when I had it the first time. I followed the recipe accurately and wonder if you have any suggestions on what I may have done wrong? Luckily this was my practice trifle and I need to bring one to an event next week on 10/30/12. HELP please.

This was a hit at the 4th of July party I went to yesterday. I did take the first bite bc 5 min later it was all gone. If I had made 2 they both would of been gone fast!!! Thanks Gina, you are my go to site and I recommend your site to all my patients looking for healthier recipes.

Thank YOU! I made this for 4th of July and there wasn't anything left! I had to substitute cheesecake pudding because I couldn't find white chocolate pudding in my area. But it was AMAZING anyway. And so pretty!!! Thank YOU again.

Was able to pick up a great trifle dish at Target which made the presentation of this dish epic. A couple of items, I definitely agree using a big ziploc with a corner cut out helps with the cream. Pay attention to the placement of the ingredients, by placing them against the bowl so they can be seen. The trifle was a hit at the July 4th party, although I did get to bring some home, there were several desserts available,(including your red/white/blue skewers!) none were finished. Definitely keep refrigerator until time to serve. Excellent dessert to feed a hungry group of folks. Thanks again Gina!

I don't have a trifle bowl, so I found some cool margarita glasses and made individual servings of it. I made 5 very full glasses (skipping one level of fruit as it wouldn't have fit), and I had some extra of the pudding/cool whip mixture, so I am guessing I could have made 7 or 8 maybe if I'd used it all. So good, and my husband ate one the next day and said it was just as good!
